A recently published study determined mortality rates of patients treated with hemodialysis were different for racial and ethnic groups based on whether patients received care in U.S. states or territories. “While there have been extensive analyses of [chronic kidney disease] and ESKD in the 50 U.S. states, there are few studies about kidney disease in the U.S. territories,” Guofen Yan, of the Department of Public Health Sciences at the UVA School of Medicine, and colleagues wrote. “The U.S. has five territories that are permanently inhabited and comprised of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Vi...

Now she’s one of the few mainstream media figures who gets why Bernie Sanders matters and why liberal professionals shouldn’t be allowed to dominate progressive politics. She grew up in King George County, Virginia, where she still lives, commuting an hour and a half to work.
